Masterpiece Dolls

NEWZ..... Exciting news!! The November group of beautiful new dolls was posted on the Masterpiece website web site on Tuesday, November 1, so go by and take a peek at them and view the artist video presentations. You can see all of the upcoming Masterpiece dolls on my friend Samntha's website, as well as numerous other doll lines and Charlie Bears too. She is a terrific doll retailer with one of the best doll websites I've ever seen. I highly recommend her. Check out her website by clicking here... http://www.samanthasdolls.com/ and she is taking advance orders on the entire line. I can definitely recommend her to all of you as a superb doll shop for all of your dolls and your Charlie bears as well! Please Note: I haven't added the dolls to our website because we did not order any extra dolls this time....just those preordered by the time our orders were submitted.
The dolls for the November arrival have been shipped out by UPS and I sent out the tracking info 11/4 when I received it. I do have an extra Londyn and Amelia by Susan Lippl if you are looking for one.

Please remember to check our website periodically for changes in the Specials on the dolls that arrived earlier in the year and additions to the website. In the collection that arrived in May there are several of the popular, 30 inch size dolls ( + or - a couple inches) for fans of the moderate sized dolls. There are also several of the bigger 42-46 inch size dolls for those who love the really big girls. You can see a photo of lovely Summer above right, and Mariza below left. You can go to the Gallery page for more photos & information on each of the dolls (by clicking on the small photo to go to the full size photos and full description pages). With the newer dolls coming in at higher prices these dolls are a terrific value for you at regular price but I've been doing special pricing on quite a few of them, making the value even better. On a few of these dolls the exceptional outfits alone could cost you $50.00 or more! Sandy is dressed in a lovely bridesmaid dress with hand sewn pearls on it. You can place your order online for these lovely dolls with our secure shipping carts or e-mail me if you have additional questions.

Highlights of the collection that arrived mid May are: 5, count them 5, DOTY Nominees (for Doll Of the Year). That's 33 % of the dolls in the total collection of 15! There are several of the very large dolls in this group and also several of the mid sized toddler children that many of you have been requesting. For those of you who love the Fairy Tale theme dolls you will be pleased to find Cinderella (ML) a DOTY Nominee with a stunning outfit. From favorite Monika Levenig there is Summer & Mariza (in a fun outfit too)and Shelly at 34 inches. A special treat for those who love her youngest toddlers like I do, is Baby Jolie, a cute crawling toddler at 26 inches. From popular Monika Peter-Leicht there is an elegant 46 inch Bride, Kathryn (DOTY Nominee) who has sold out and her adorable Flower Girl Sandy at 32 inches, which is currently at a terrific price . Both of these dolls are wearing gorgeous outfits as well. MPL definitely outdid herself in designing gowns this time. Susanna is the mid sized 32 inches. Joining the poular Monikas are other favorite artists: Susan Lippl with an absolutely precious & popular 30 inch standing toddler Kylie (a favorite of mine), Doris Stannat with 2 adorable babies Amy (blonde)& Aaron (in a medium skintone). It should be easy to find a "must have" in this group! Cinderella, Mariza, Sandy, Kylie, Jolie, & Amy were initially on my "possibles" list, but since I can't get them all of course, I decided Sandy, Kylie & Amy are probably my "must haves" from these lovelies. Please check out these lovely dolls to choose your favorites.

A few highlights of the collection that arrived mid February are: The Prince by MPL, along with blonde & feminine Saraphina. For those of you who love the Lippl dolls, there is a darling new Asian Ballerina, Adrianna (shown at right). She doesn't have jointing for those of you who don't like the joints. ML is doing huge new 46 & 48 inch jointed dolls this time too. Nadya, a Gypsy with earrings and other pretty gold jewelry is a unique & fun choice. She begins an International series and joined my personal collection as I just love her happy smile. They are all stunning dark haired dolls. I had to have the Prince too as he is stunning with all of the Princesses. Laura Tuzio-Ross, a popular American Artist returns with a darling set of twins as well. Please check out this awesome collection and order your favorites while they are still in stock Spring, William & Rapunzel sold out in presales and a few more soon after, but I have many of the others in stock, although many are getting pretty limited by now.

November arrival dolls: For highlights, there is a Prince to go with Rapunzel, Snow White & Alice. The total of 4 Fairy Tale dolls from MPL are completed . They aren't being dressed in the Disney fashion that many of us here are accustomed to. Monika is researching older German books of Fairy Tales, like Grimms Fairy Tales. For those of you who have been requesting fraternal twins with freckles, ML has created the most adorable set for you. We only have a couple of Danny remaining, but he is the cutest boy I've seen lately so I had to add him to my collection. Don't miss this cute little guy to keep those girls company.

I try to always have a few Sale prices on select Masterpiece dolls so peruse the gallery section and scroll down to the bottom of the page for the current specials and check back periodically as I add new ones as others sell out.

International customers aren't eligible for the Prepay discount, but do get a shipping credit on each doll ordered.

We cannot note Gift or inaccurate cost on the customs form to avoid customs fees...it is against Federal Laws here in the US.

***You can scroll down to the bottom of the page to click on the photo gallery page or keep reading NEWZ & Policies until you get there.

Masterpiece and it's artists are always improving and trying creative new things to make their next collection even better. The most exciting new innovation is different locations of ball joints to allow for more posability. There are more full body sculpts which are more costly to produce, and there have been much larger dolls as well. Even with the inevitable price increases, the price is really reasonable for these beautiful, larger sized, often multi-jointed dolls. The quality of this exceptional line continues to surprise me.

We will also be adding some older dolls I have from the store over the next few months and there are also a couple of MP dolls in the group...from back in the HSN only days when I bought them for my own collection or for customer requests.
